Day Of The Triffids

In the mid-day heat I gave a sigh Cruisin’ through the garden district I was out of my mind The star of India’s in my hotel room In a briefcase combination: 3,2,1 which only I know And I’ve just seen my mentor, Dr. No ‘California Sun’ is on the radio, let’s go

I just wanna reach the radio star I just wanna reach the radio star It’s a satelite off venus and it ain’t too far I just wanna reach the radio star

I was shooting up in my hotel room When the phone started ringing – oh no It was Dr. No, he gave the password He said ‘Hey man, haven’t you heard?’ and I said ‘No’ ‘The world’s been invaded by alien life forms Meet me at the airport, we’ve got to get out – let’s go’

I just wanna reach the radio star I just wanna reach the radio star It’s a satelite off venus and it ain’t too far I just wanna reach the radio star I just wanna reach the radio star I just wanna reach the radio star It’s a satelite off venus and it ain’t too far I just wanna reach the radio star

I ran to the window and looked out, there were dead people lying all over the streets, man Within two minutes I had all my stuff together I jumped in the car and was speeding down the highway, past all the deserted cars In five minutes I was at the airport but there at the gates I saw what I suppose was one of these alien life forms I pulled my bazooka out of it’s bay in the back of the car and blew it up to hell As arranged Dr. No was waiting for me in the terminal, we got in his private jet plane and took off Two hours later landing in Zaire, where he met up with Fu Manchu, Hannibal Lecter, the Hooded Claw and all the rest of the gang We boarded the rocket and soon we were shooting off for the stars and as we approached the space station I looked down and observerd the earth The US Air Force being annihilated and swarms of nuclear weapons soaring through the stratosphere destroying the earth And I swear to God I laughed

Congratulations you guys
